What Causes the Steering Wheel Light to Illuminate?
1 Answers
Steering wheel warning light illuminates due to excessive air in the power steering system, causing abnormal vehicle steering, or foreign objects in the steering hydraulic lines leading to jamming of the steering pump flow control valve. Solutions for the steering wheel warning light illumination are as follows: 1. Inspect the steering gear, steering pump control valve, oil reservoir filter, and steering fluid; clean the entire power steering system. 2. Check tire pressure. Inflate promptly if low. 3. Examine all connection points of the oil pipes and tighten the connecting bolts. 4. Replace the oil pipes, power steering pump, or steering gear as necessary.
